Looks nice. How much did you pay? I'm thinkin bout gettin these coilovers but I was priced at $1200. Dont know if I wanna spend that much right now. Right now, I'm leaning toward the basic dampener kit for $800. Are yours dumped all the way down in the picture, 2.4 in front and 2.1 in rear? Do you know of any comparison between the Super Street Damper and the Basic Damper?

i was very very VERY lucky to get it at that price...it was sort of a mistake..i ordered the basic coilovers and they actually sent me the wrong ones...so instead of basic they sent me super street coilovers...so about getting it for 960 it was by luck

nice car, it is kind of strange it looks like mine, you should get some other angles,
the drop is not that much it is the same as the stech's, its cool though.

was the suspension pieces on the car adjustable enough to take out all the negative camber? im about to install the same kit but i dont want to shred my tires from excessive negative camber.

they should be the same. on the site, SS's max drop is 2.4 F and 2.0 R, i believe that is the same with the S.tech springs, only difference is the shock/strut and the ride height adjustablility

correction. if i'm reading it right, the default drop is 2.4" f 2.1" r which is similar to the s-techs. however, the front can be lowered to a max of 2.7" as well as 2.6" in the rear. i've seen pics of the s-tech drop and r1mirostc's is definitely lower.

it may not be the same height even with what Tein says. and yea, the SS has damper adjustability too
